    i,

    It's 3 days since i am trying to increase my wifisignal (from 1 house to another), for this i bought a zyxel g-570 v2 device and i have a netgear DG834G v3 modem/router. I simply cannot create this connection, i don't know much about networks and i need some help here.

    - I need to setup the Zyxel device as a bridge or Access point ? Or both? (because there is this option also).

    - do i need to Enable Wireless Bridging and Repeating in the router options also ?

    - do i need to setup the same wep key and the same channel for both devices ?


    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Have you read through the setup guide and the user manual first?
